Employers do not always follow the correct procedures in disciplinary matters. Maybe you feel you have been unfairly treated at a disciplinary or performance management meeting, or told you are at risk of having your employment terminated. Our employment solicitors can clarify whether you have a case and help fight your corner.
Our client was called into a meeting and informed his employment was being terminated because of performance issues. As he was not made aware of any performance issues prior to this meeting we advised him he had an extremely good claim for unfair dismissal and issued proceedings in the employment tribunal for him.
Our client was dismissed for gross misconduct, his employer alleged he had threatened and bullied other members of staff. The employer failed to investigate the matter, failed to inform our client in advance of the dismissal meeting of the allegations, failed to offer him the right to be accompanied or of his right to appeal his dismissal. We advised our client he had a very good claim for unfair dismissal and negotiated him a compensation payment which included payment of our legal costs without the need to issue employment tribunal proceedings.
I have worked with Susanna on two separate matters, and I find her to be thorough, considered, practical and extremely professional. She takes time to thoroughly understand the issues and gives carefully considered advice. During what was often a very stressful time, Susanna gave me great confidence and appropriate support, helping to ensure we achieved the best solution
At every stage in instructing TS&P (and I have used them for Residential Conveyancing, Family Law and Employment Law) I have always been very impressed with the quality of the people I have dealt with. Keep doing what they are doing and they will keep my business as well as be warmly recommended by me.

Susanna was extremely competent in her approach and guided me through the process with clarity and professionalism at all times, she was a pleasure to have as my adviser
Provided high quality advice!
I was able to meet and discuss my situation very soon after contacting TSP, Susanna was easy to contact and turned round review and responses to my employer swiftly, and the matter was dealt with within a relatively short timescale, minimising stress to me.
All the advice given was structured toward the type of business that we are.
Very prompt and responsive both during and after business hours, to successfully progress the case to agreement within a short time period and to schedule
I came away understanding the background to the advice given, and I am happy that this takes into account my best interests
